What To Know: Marin announced upgrades to its integration with Microsoft Advertising that connects Microsoft’s intelligent Automated Bidding and first-party conversion data with Marin’s AI-powered budget optimization.

The cloud-based digital advertising management company said brands and agencies can now use Marin to ensure the right amount of spend and allocation of marketing funds across Microsoft Advertising campaigns and other search programs.

Key benefits of Marin’s integration with Microsoft include cross-account and publisher budget management tools, spend optimization, budget pacing and enhanced conversion metrics.
